While others walk in formulas and hearsays, contented enough to dwell there, this man could not screen himself in formulas; he was alone with his own What do they (Non-Muslims) soul and the reality of things. The great mystery of Existence, as I said, glared in upon him, with its terrors, Say About Prophet Muhammad? with its splendors; no hearsays could hide that unspeakable Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, has fulfilled for his fact. 'Here am I'; such Sincerity as we name it, has in very people a role that combines the functions - of a truth something of divine. The work of such a man is a voice distinguished prophet, statesman, author, and reformer. He direct from Nature's own Heart. Men do and must listen to has earned for himself as a consequence the respect and that as to nothing else; all else is wind in comparison." reverence of countless people, Muslim and non-Muslim everywhere. John Davenport in his well known work, "An Apology for Mohammad and While our knowledge of men who filled similar roles from the Koran", admits the honesty and sincerity behind Moses to Zoroaster to Jesus is shrouded with legend, often Mohammad's claim of being an apostle of God, when he incomplete and frequently colour, and while the accounts of says: Muhammad's life and deeds contain their share of “It is strongly corroborative of Mohammad's sincerity that incompleteness and colouring, the fact remains that he was the earliest converts of Islam were his bosom friends and the the first to live and preach in the full light of history.

Hart discrepancies which more or less invariably exist between the in his book on ratings of people who contributed towards pretentions of the hypocritical deceiver and his actions at the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes: home." "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's “With all that simplicity which is so natural to a great mind, most influential persons may surprise some readers and he performed the humblest offices whose homeliness it would may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in be idle to conceal with pompous diction; even while Lord of Arabia, he mended his own shoes and coarse woollen garments.

To suppose Muhammad as eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, imposter raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none people and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, West as Muhammad. Thus, not merely must we credit the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls.

Of all standards by which human book "Mohammad and Mohammadanism", adds: greatness can be measured, we may well ask ... is there any man greater than Mohammed?" “Head of the State as well as of the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's The Prophet pretensions, Caesar without the legion of Caesar. Without a standing army, without a body-guard, without a palace, As A Hero: without a fixed revenue, if ever any man had the right to K. S.

Only a glimpse of him I can catch. What Mohammad" adds: dramatic succession of picturesque scenes? There is “The day of Mohammad's greatest triumph over his enemies Muhammad the Prophet; there is Muhammad the General; was also the day of his grandest victory over himself. He Muhammad the King; Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad freely forgave the Koraysh all the years of sorrow and cruel the Businessman; Muhammad the Preacher; scorn in which they had afflicted him and gave an amnesty Muhammad the Philosopher; Muhammad the Statesman; to the whole population of Makkah.

In all these quietly and peacefully; no house was robbed, no women magnificent roles and in all these departments of insulted. human activities he is equally a hero." In the earlier portion of his mission, the Prophet travelled to Legacy of the Prophet: the city of Taif, a city located in the mountains nearby to George Bernard Shaw , in order to invite them to accept Islam. The leaders said about him: of Taif, however, were rude and discourteous in their “He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if treatment of the Prophet.

Prophet shouting at and abusing him, and throwing stones [The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936] at him, until he was compelled to take refuge in an orchard. These ruffians, stationed either side of the path, threw Mahatma Gandhi, stones at him until his feet were injured and smeared with speaking on the character of Muhammad blood. These oppressions so grievously dejected the Prophet "I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's and plunged him into in such a state of depression that a undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind....I prayer, citing his helplessness and pitiable condition and became more than convinced that it was not the sword that seeking the aid of Allah, spontaneously came from his lips: won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense “O God, to You I complain of my weakness, lack of resources devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his and humiliation before these people. You are the Most fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his Merciful, the Lord of the weak and my Master. To whom will own mission. These and not the sword carried everything You consign me?

Out of Allah be upon him, was described as a “Mercy for all the his great tolerance and mercy, the Messenger of Worlds”, as Allah says in the Holy Quran: God replied, “We have sent you as a mercy for all the worlds.” (Quran 21:107) “No!

This mercy and forgiveness is clearly demonstrated in the fact that the Prophet, may the mercy His mercy and compassion was so great that on more than and blessings of Alla be upon him, never took revenge on one occasion, God, Himself, reprimanded him for it. One anyone for personal reasons and always forgave even his of the greatest opponents of Islam and a personal enemy staunch enemies.

Outwardly proclaiming Islam, he surreptitiously clear after a deep analysis of the following accounts of his inflicted great harm to the Muslims and the mission of the life. Prophet. Knowing his state of affairs, the Prophet Muhammad still Safwan bin Umaya, one of the chiefs of Mecca, was also a offered the funeral prayer for him and prayed to God for his great enemy of Muhammad and Islam. He promised a forgiveness. The Quran mentions this incident in these reward to Umair ibn Wahab if he managed to kill words: Muhammad. When Mecca was conquered, Safwan ran away to Jeddah in the hope of finding a berth that would take him “And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dies, to Yemen by sea. Umair ibn Wahab came to Muhammad and nor stand by his grave. Lo! They disbelieve in God and said, “O Messenger of God! Safwan ibn Umayya, a chief of His Messenger, and they died while they were evil doers.” his tribe, has run away from fear of what you might do to him (Quran 9:84) and threatens to cast himself into the sea.” The Prophet sent him a guarantee of protection and, when he returned, he requested Muhammad to give him two months to come to a Abdullah bin Ubayy worked all his life against Muhammad decision. He was given four months, after which he became a and Islam and left no stone unturned so as to bring him Muslim by his own will. into disrepute and try to defeat his mission. He withdrew his three hundred supporters in the and thus almost broke the backbone of the Muslims at one stroke. Habir ibn al-Aswad was another vicious enemy of He engaged in intrigues and acts of hostility against the Muhammad and Islam. He inflicted a serious injury to Prophet of Islam and the Muslims.

She was pregnant when she started her The mercy of the Prophet even extended to those who migration, and the polytheists of Mecca tried to stop her from brutally killed and then mutilated the body of his uncle leaving.

Go! For you “O emigrant rider, welcome.” all free!” Rarely in the annals of history can we read such an Sayyidina Anas bin Malik narrated that the Beloved instance of forgiveness. Even his deadliest enemy Abu Messenger, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, Sufyan, who led so many battles against Islam, was said, "None of you will have faith till he loves me more forgiven, as was any person who stayed in his house and than his father, his children and all mankind."

He was the complete example of “And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a forgiveness and kindness, as mentioned in the following mercy to the worlds.” [Qur'an 21:107] verse of the Quran: Respect and allegiance to the Prophet is a fundamental and crucial aspect of Imaan (faith), without which one's belief is “Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, incomplete and not accepted in the courts of our Lord. and turn away from the ignorant.” (Quran 7:199) “Surely, those who pledge allegiance to you (O Beloved Prophet), pledge allegiance to Allah.” [Qur'an 48:10]

He always repelled evil with the good of forgiveness and Almighty Allah and His Angels invoke blessings upon the kind behaviour for, in his view, an antidote was better than Messenger, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, poison. He believed and practiced the precept that love and He commands all believers to do so in all respect. could foil hatred, and aggression could be won over by “Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye forgiveness. He overcame the ignorance of the people with that believe! Send your blessings on him, and salute him the knowledge of Islam, and the folly and evil of the people with all respect.” [Qur'an 33:56] with his kind and forgiving treatment. With his forgiveness, he freed people from the bondage of sin and crime, and The perspiration of the Beloved Messenger, may Allah's also made them great friends of Islam. He was an epitome peace and blessings be upon him, was so pure that it would of the verse of the Quran: emit a pleasant, sweet fragrance as testified by many Noble Companions.

“Good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with what is better. Sayyidina Anas commented, “I have never smelled amber, Then he, between whom and you there was hatred, will musk or any other (perfume) more fragrant than the aroma become as though he was a bosom friend.” (Quran 41:34) of the Messenger of Allah.” [Muslim, Vol 4, Page no. 1814]
